I'm scanning in the 1985 TI Express Catalog right now and it only lists the 2310503-0001. I think there is an int'l version -0003. Even if the serial port would work at 1200, though, the printhead only does 45 cps. Pic of a supposed -0010 on Worthpoint, but I don't subscribe for details or confirmation. However, it would have to have something like the 2 char thermal printhead in the 780 series to print without buffering at 1200 baud, I would think. Dig some more in daylight. jbdigriz
